SUPERNOVA 2007cs IN UGC 12798
     Further to IAUC 8829, D. Winslow and W. Li report the discovery
of an apparent supernova (mag 15.9) on unfiltered KAIT images taken on
June 24.49 and 26.43 UT.  The new object is located at R.A. =
23h49m39s.00, Decl. = +29o55'52".1 (equinox 2000.0), which is 12".4
west and 2".5 south of the nucleus of UGC 12798.  A KAIT image taken
on Jan. 8.09 showed nothing at this location (limiting mag 18.5).
